Generous Support for Youth Club Activities in Gwanak-gu

Support for Youth Autonomous Activities Shrunk by COVID-19, Time for Peer Communication, Contribution to Revitalizing Youth Clubs... Support for Club Operation in Schools and Communities, Platform for Sharing Achievements of Youth Cultural Events

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is recruiting youth-related institutions, organizations, and schools within the region to participate in the youth club support project until March 31 to continuously support and revitalize youth self-governing activities that have been contracted due to COVID-19.

The district announced that it plans to select institutions that can flexibly operate both non-face-to-face and face-to-face activities in line with the post-COVID-19 era so that children and youth can spend a healthy adolescence through various self-directed club activities and grow as responsible democratic citizens.

In particular, unlike last year when most clubs were school clubs, this year the support is divided into ‘Village Children and Youth Clubs’ and ‘School Culture and Arts Clubs’ to distinguish the talents of youth and allow diverse youth to participate.

First, the support target for ‘Village Children and Youth Clubs’ is local youth-related non-profit corporations and private organizations that have experience in youth club and self-governing activity support projects and can support both face-to-face and non-face-to-face club activities.

Two institutions and organizations will be recruited, with a total support budget of 15 million KRW.

‘School Culture and Arts Clubs’ recruit about 15 clubs composed of students enrolled in local elementary, middle, and high schools who participate in cultural and artistic activities.

Up to two clubs per school will be supported, with a total support budget of 15 million KRW.

Applications can be submitted by checking the recruitment announcement on the Gwanak-gu Office website (News & Notices → Gwanak News), downloading the application form, and sending it via email (20090513179@ga.go.kr) or official document.

The district plans to continuously promote the activation of youth clubs by organically linking youth clubs and cultural events, including providing a venue to share achievements through youth club activity support.

Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, said, “I hope this project will support youth self-governing activities that have been contracted due to social distancing caused by COVID-19 and provide opportunities for communication among peers,” adding, “We will do our best to activate youth clubs, including supporting non-face-to-face activities in line with the changing daily life in the post-COVID-19 era.”
